This quote means that she wishes she could love Romeo, but she cant because of his name. The reason he can't love Romeo is because he is a Montague and the Montagues are the enemies of Juliet's family. And she said his last name would smell like a rose if it were not Montague.
Romeo III, iii
Romeo mentions this when he was talking to Friar Laurence about being banished from Verona. Friar was then trying to tell Romeo that the punishment could have ben much worse by it being death, but Romeo doesn't think the punishment can get any worse because he loves Juliet and has to live without her since he is banished. This is significant to the story because Romeo has just been banished and he is in love with Juliet, but he cant be with her or see her since he is banished. It is significant to life because when people are in love with each other they always want to be together. If they cannot be together they think it is the worse thing ever that could happen. This is the same with Romeo and Juliet since they cant see each other.
"Death lies on her like an untimely frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all the field"
Capulet IV, v
Written Response: I think what Capulet meant when he said "death lies on her like an untimwly frost" was that Juliet's death was very unexpected. When he said "upon the sweetest flower of all the field" he meant Juliet was a great girl and did not deserve to die at such a young age. I think it is significant to life because you never know when someone is going to die, no matter who or how great a person something could always go wrong and they could die. It is significant to the story, because Juliet was supposed to get married but she didnt want to be married since she was already married to Romeo so everyone was very shocked when she was found "dead".
"O my love, my wife!
Death, that hath sucked the honey from thy breath,
hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
Thou are not conquered. Beauty's ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death's pale flag is not advanced here."
(Romeo V, iii)
Written Response: Romeo felt terrible when he first found out that Juliet was dead. He went to her grave to be there with her because he loved her so much. When he say's "Death, that hath sucked the honey from thy breath, hath had no power yet upon thy beauty." Means even though Juliet did die and is dead she is still very beautiful. When Romeo finished the quote by saying "Beauty's ensign yet is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks, and deaths pale flag is not advanced here." It meant Juliet doesn't even look dead that her lips and cheeks are still pink and she has no pale color to her. This quote is very significant to the story, because Romeo thinks Juliet is actually dead when she isn't. Thats why he says she's still as beautiful as she was alive because she still is alive and thats why she isn't turning pale at all. It is significant to life, because when people actually do die in real life they are very cold and look very pale like that are sick. But, even if she would be dead and a husband really loves her he would still love her as much and still think she is as beautiful as she was before her death.
"O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night."
